The Ultimate Metabolism-Boosting Exercise

With age, you naturally start losing strength, muscle mass, and power. The sharpest declines happen in power—your ability to generate force quickly. Explosive exercises like the deadlift with high pull train your body’s power-generating capabilities and skyrocket your metabolism, sizzling fat even after your workout ends.

“Combining one of the best strength exercises, the deadlift, with a powerful exercise such as the high pull equals an extremely effective metabolism-boosting exercise that also works your legs, butt, and back,” says Rachel Cosgrove, C.S.C.S., creator of the Spartacus 5.0 Workout.

Tip: If you feel like you're lifting the weight with your arms, go heavier and focus on using your hips to drive the weight up, Cosgrove suggests.
